This past term, several of us brainstormed a list of readings that were cheap or came in low-cost paperback editions that we’ve found useful in our first-year writing courses. This is just a list without context. If you’d like to see that email strand wherein our colleagues write, often at length, about how they uses these texts in their classrooms, please drop me a line at jtalbird@qcc.cuny.edu and I’ll forward it to you. Here is that list (in progress) which I invite you to add to in the comments below.
